Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThere was a slight smell of drains in the bathroom.
The view from our room was stunning. The location is stunning. The staff were amazing and so helpful. We were late arriving but they contacted us and made alternative arrangements for our check in. I'm sad we only stayed one night.

FranceHaving located our chalet, this is mainly where the drop in stars comes in. Not sure what the rooms in the Inn are like, but the chalets are rather a bizarre set up. A contemporary and soulless collection of mini houses surrounded by gravel. Our chalet had three rooms and our room was on the ground floor. Very basic, lacking in any character. In the morning around 8am, thinking we'd have a quiet and slow start before setting off on our long drive home, we were shocked into reality by the sound of cars driving on the gravel, doors slamming, workmen sawing into metal and cleaning ladies speaking at such a volume it seemed the building was on fire. We couldn't open any blinds because they all looked onto the gravel parking area and it felt like we had spent the night in the middle of a car park. Disappointing considering the price of the room.
After a long drive and then an expectedly long detour trying to locate the place, we were just in time to check in but sadly too late for our restaurant booking. However we were received with a warm welcome and the kitchen kindly stayed open to offer us pizzas. The place was extremely busy, with loud music blasting through speakers which, after a few days of tranquility in the Highlands, was a bit dizzying. However the rustic bar/restaurant with roaring fire was characterful. By 10pm the bar had cleared out, chairs were on the tables and everything was silent. The location is actually very beautiful, next to a small harbour with a little path which leads along the lake to a point where you can hop on a boat for a little tour. And the coffee shop attached to the Inn is very good. You probably need a good couple of days to discover the cove and location.

United KingdomThe location was very close to the Loch & in a lovely little village. We stayed in one of the superior pods and it was perfect for a night away. A nice size with everything you could need. The staff were lovely at check in & the restaurant attached to the hotel was great for an evening meal. Definitely book though as it’s the only real pub / restaurant in walking distance. Great fish & chips.
